Failing this, Wilde asked someone. He spoke to "Lil" Orphan Arnie. Arnie said: "Well, I personally think its wonderful. This crash is the greatest thing for the economy since.... November 7, 2000. Exactly."

"This simply proves what I've been saying about the state of our economy. It is terrible. The rich are wasting our money on useless amenities, while the middle class can't afford food. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to spend $400 on a hairc- I mean charity".
